GC type awareness for associative arrays in D is currently a bit weak because only the type of the key is typically available. This is really only an issue for the 'values' properties right now, but other AA implementations may be able to take advantage of type awareness for GC purposes. It would be nice if the TypeInfo for the AA itself could be passed into the runtime routines instead of the TypeInfo for just the key.
